The table got ultra laggy when some unpredictable players sat down a few hands ago. I'll do reads as they come up in the hand; there's a lot of them.

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG posts a blind of $1. UTG+1 posts a blind of $1.

1 fold</font>, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls, MP2 calls, Button calls.
With two posters in front of me checking, I think this is an ok limp.

I 3-bet with probably the best hand on an unfortunately draw-heavy board.
SB is unpredictable player, raising any PP preflop, only calling with high cards. Insensitive to postion. Postflop, he goes ballistic with the PP's, moderately aggressive with high cards. Despite this, he's only 24/6/1 (over just 33 hands). BB just sat down a hand ago. Button's cap caught me off guard. I think WPT watching him, a bad high school no limit player stuck in a limit game. Can't value his hands for [censored]. 48/11/3.
Turn: (16.50 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>

Even though it helps all straight draws, all the aggression on the flop makes me doubt there's a straight out there. Surprised I didn't get check-raised.

Well, no flush is out, and the only straight this completes would have hit on the turn (JT). SB's betting out is odd, and I have to beat another caller. Am I good 1 in 10 here?

What about waiting for a safe card on the turn to raise?
